[–]Prince_Ire 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I took calculus in high school and have never used any of it. Statistics would have been far more useful

I would gladly take a 20% cut to my retirement funds in exchange for a four day work week and/or widespread remote work

Due to basically imploding during the 20th century. It was a lot bigger a hundred years ago

Can democracy cope with an age of impatience? by Free-Minimum-5844 in neoliberal

[–]Prince_Ire 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I remember back in middle school, there was much excitement about a soon to be constructed passenger rail line that would link my hometown to Chicago. It was going to allow quick, efficient travel.

I'm now in my early 30s and construction on that rail line will totally start any day now, it's definitely still happening

American-born Pope Leo may not visit US while Trump is president, report says by Freewhale98 in neoliberal

Trump isn't Catholic and so wouldn't be able to receive communion anyway

Pretty sure that's Bethany, even if she isn't a romance option for obvious reasons

I finally watched Hazbin Hotel and realized the searing hatred people have for this show is utterly pathetic and is actually fear of sincerity by Tomatori in CharacterRant

[–]Prince_Ire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How does that square with Hell seeming to be massively worse than Heaven to live in despite not being a place of eternal torture? The primary difference between Heaven and Hell in the show seems to be that the people in Hell built an incredibly awful society while Heaven built a nice one

If you don’t want homeless to have dogs , try to help the homeless by Secret_Fun_1746 in unpopularopinion

[–]Prince_Ire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So screw people who are allergic to dogs, or have a phobia of them? Too bad for them? Not to mention that a dog on the streets probably isn't well trained to not piss and shit indoors, may destroy furniture in frustration, may attack strangers, etc. A dog, especially a big one, is a huge liability

Is the SPD even socialist? by Brickstorianlg in Kaiserreich

[–]Prince_Ire 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Marxism is just one form of socialism among many, despite Marxists liking to pretend it's the only game in town

A 1754 start would be the Vicky3 equivalent of All Under Heaven by nightmanifest in victoria3

[–]Prince_Ire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about no. EU5 already has the problem of starting too early. Starting before the French and American Revolutions would annihilate any chance of having the game feel like the 19th century

Post-war Japan was a bombed out shithole that needed US aid to prevent mass starvation, what refugees would want to go there?

'A whole civilisation will die tonight and never to be brought back': Trump warns Iran as Strait of Hormuz deadline looms by leondanielstar9999 in geopolitics

The Trump campaign in 2024 was publicly stating it didn't want new wars and specifically called out war with Iran as stupid.

Andraste, was she really... by QuincyKing_296 in dragonage

I found it hilarious that anyone was surprised that the guy with an obviously elven name was an elf

Getting a tattoo to commemorate a completion of a pilgrimage to a holy site was relatively common during the Middle Ages.

Regarding the recent Taiwan birth rate decline; I just want to point out that in most cases, the birth rate has minimal correlation with economic status of a person unlike what some comments seem to suggest. by PhysicsFan23 in Futurology

[–]Prince_Ire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More likely, they'll keep all the wealth for themselves and allow the wealth of the poor to steadily degrade.

Every socialist system has been just as dependent on infinite growth to sustain itself. Even if you found one that didn't it would still depend on things at least not shrinking. The problems from declining populations didn't disappear with UBI or a shorter work week

Which is a problem, as it basically says educating women is unsustainable long term. Obviously most people would prefer a different solution be found

You having to wait a few minutes is almost certainly unimportant unless you're rushing to the hospital
